Jon Bregel: Pursuit of Wellness in the Film Industry

On the latest episode of the Cinematography Salon podcast, Jon Bregel candidly discusses the critical impact of societal pressures, the myth of pain as a prerequisite for creating good art, and the skewed work-life balance in the film industry. Drawing from his experiences with Variable, he advocates for a holistic approach to wellness, emphasizing mental, spiritual, emotional, and physical health. The conversation further explores relinquishing control in filmmaking, and the crucial role of supportive mentorship and community within the industry.
